2012 #3 - Wearing my mum's clothes :)

I have a love hate relationship with this dress. I love that it is cotton material.. unlike most of my mum's dresses, chiffon and other soft, shiny and fragile material.. I'm not good with fabric names but I shall learn when I have the chance! :P Anyway, yes when it is cotton it looks more youthful. And it ends just slightly above my knee, especially when I have my belt on, the length is just nice. :)

However... the pattern on this fabric... is a little... messy and overly matured? Am I overly conscious? :P Anywayy... I think the electric blue belt helps to divert attention on the fabric design a bit, and then the long sleeve cardigan helps cover up half of the dress....

so yahhh... I wore this to work on Thursday, the day before everyone presses on the "casual" button! :D

Here's another of my mum's maxi skirt! This one is the 2nd longest of all her maxi skirts. :) I've worn this twice to church, It took me quite a lot of courage to wear it! A friend, Wern Lu commented that I look great. :) :) So it's not that bad... hahaha... another friend thought I was wearing a crop top.. haha... no no I tucked in. :D

I wore this on Saturday, when Anne and I brought our mum to her tailor at Fahrenheit to tailor make dress to wear on my brother's wedding day.

One of the tailors saw me and said I put on weight!! I think it's just this skirtt... makes me look chubby on my middle part! :P Hey, I never say I have a small waist, did I? :P

My mum's black lace dress. :) She never worn it if not wrong, according to her, the material is too stiff and hard, not comfortable for long hours wearing. I am not as fussy so I could take it, and therefore now it's mine! :D Of course before that, we let her tailor alter it to my size. :) More fitter at waist and shorter in length. ;)

I've worn this to church 2 to 3 times.. one day Uncle Ronnie came to tell me "Joan, your dress is very nice!"

This is a 68 years old uncle telling me he likes my dress.... so I must've looked like a girl that just walked out from the 1990s era...? :P :P Hahahaha.
